JACK PARK BOOK
By johnjach, Section Homebrewed Electricity Posted on Fri Dec 19, 2003 at 07:03:39 PM MST
Does anyone have this Jack Park book?

Some time ago, Jack Park authored a book entitled "Simplified Wind Power Systems for Experimenters." Is anyone out there familiar with this? What are it's contents? How many pages, illustrations, etc.?
Thanks for your help.

I don't have that one, but do have a later book by Jack Park called The Wind Power Book (1981 - Cheshire Books) which I found very helpful.

It has 250 pages and covers the history of wind power, basic theory, calculations, and design. However, there isn't much on the actual construction details.

Hi JJ,
Both books are quite good. Neither of them have any specific building but the one you refer to has alot of math and covers most turbines. This includes the Darrieus, savinous, multi-blade to the modern turbines. I would recomend both if you can find them. Both are similar and each seems to have a bit of detail that the other doesn't. He also goes into some hybrids that are kind of unique.

I found them in Half.com for a reasonable price. Both have been out of print for some time now.

Have Fun
